I find it very strange that this HN thread is full of people taking the website name hyper literally. The about page mentions that this is a UI for the subreddit of the same name, which is focused on "Post quirky and niche words/phrases from foreign languages that can't easily be translated." Personally the discussion for possible translations is far more interesting than the slightly misleading subreddit and site name.
